A lot of students who have never had a B in their life (all A’s) get rejected by Stanford. Your best chance there is probably if you are strong enough to get in as an athlete. However, your test results suggest that the main issue with your grades is the amount of time that is taken up by sports. It certainly can be a big issue how to balance time between sports versus academics.

Is there a chance that you will be recruited for sports by either school? If so I would talk to them frankly about the need to balance sports and academics. It looks like you probably do have the academic ability to handle either school.
